If Campaign for a Balanced Mountain View's interpretation "public-private partnership" means public funding from Mountain View taxpayers, such as issuing bonds, then it is a political and fiscal non-starter. Google has far disposable income and free cash than the City of Mountain View could ever dream of. If Google manages to get approval for those 5000 units of housing, then they can put up the funding themselves or find other private investors. Good luck on the latter.

It's interesting that the Mtn View city council is consulting Google about our internal city issues. Might lead one to the conclusion that Google is actually running the city.
Hmmm. Now that's an original thought.

I work for Google and even I am concerned about the traffic and housing cost increases over the years that are at least partially due to Google's growth. I love my city and my company but I wish housing wasn't so damn expensive and that there were less idiots on the road.
